After meeting with the school leader, he realized that his daughter was more talented than he had imagined. She was actually a figure in the school and a role model for freshman study.
“Student Little Ye is not just simply excellent. All of us think she is outstanding. And she had worked out for her great performance step by step. Looking at her is like looking at a mirror, a mirror which can show how different she is from everyone else.”
“There are too many people that admire her. Her words and deeds must be more rigorous than many others. This is not for the sake of letting Little Ye live for the eyes of others, but because we all know she can do better.”
The words of the courtyard leader still lingered in Father Fu’s ears, and he looked at his bright-eyed daughter, feeling proud.
This was his and Hong Mei’s daughter. She was so good that she surprised him and made him extremely proud.
After having a daughter, he realized that he couldn’t think conventionally anymore. He was very happy to have such an excellent daughter. Things would be easier for her, so he shouldn’t keep thinking that she would need someone to protect her all the time.
However, behind his happiness, he was faintly worried.
Getting too much attention is sometimes not a good thing…
Ye Jian liked to hear the lessons her father taught her because this was what she looked forward to most.
Upon hearing that, she nodded earnestly and humbly replied, with a deep smile in her eyes, “Dad, don’t worry, I always know to live for myself and work hard for myself. Others have expectations of me because they know I can do better.”
“I can work hard to climb higher, but even if I don’t climb that high one day, even if I couldn’t reach the highest mountain, I wouldn’t be disheartened.”
What Father Fu wanted was to hear those words from Ye Jian. Upon hearing the words, the smile in his eyes deepened, “I’m relieved that you think of it this way. There are many outstanding people who become discouraged because of failure, or when they didn’t get people’s compliments, or they received disappointing looks from other people. What I worry about is that you are receiving so much attention at such a young age. I’m afraid that you won’t be able to get through the hurdle in your heart in case you are disappointed someday.”
“But I’m relieved that you know what to do.”
Ye Jian didn’t think that her father was worried about her being overly stressed and couldn’t face disappointments, and while she felt his warm love, she also knew how deep her father’s love was.
Perhaps only parents would care about their children so much.
They didn’t ask for a peaceful life; they just wished to live peacefully to see their children and grandchildren.
Leaning her head gently on Father Fu’s shoulders, which were as wide as a wall that could protect her from wind and rain, Ye Jian said softly, “No, don’t worry. That day will never exist. I will definitely remember my original intentions, I will never change, and I will work hard for the people I love, for the people who love me.”
There was a saying that went, “Daughters were the intimate little padded jackets of their parents.” Father Fu really felt it at this time. He raised his hand and hugged Ye Jian’s shoulder gently, and said kindly, “I’m proud that you are talented. But even if you are mediocre, I will also be happy for you. Jian’er, no matter what kind of person you will become in the future, you will always be the pride of your parents. Your birth is the greatest pride of your mother and me.”
When luxury became a real existence one day, Father Fu wouldn’t ask for anything else but a wish for his only daughter to live in peace and return safely and alive from every mission.
As the plane landed in Yunnan Province, Ye Jian immediately called Principal Chen, who had gone home to rest after calculating a rough estimation of Ye Jian’s arrival.
